On the 24th of March 2016, Tunnel Boring Machine successfully broke through Dextra ASTEC Soft Eyes in d-wall of Wang Burapha Station (Burapha/Charoen Krung rd.). Soft Eyes are temporary structures made of cut-able GFRP bars that allow TBMs to pass through, saving much efforts and time for the tunnel creation. More information about ASTEC Soft Eyes.
La tour qui deviendra bientôt le bâtiment le plus haut du monde est actuellement en construction en Arabie Saoudite. La tour de Jeddah (anciennement appelée Kingdom Tower) devrait franchir la barre du kilomètre, ce qui la rendra 180 mètres plus haute que la tour Burj Khalifa de Dubaï. La structure de la tour a été conçue par le cabinet de conseil Thornton Tomasetti et est construite par l'entrepreneur Saudi Ben Laden.
La Jeddah Tower accueillera à terme un hôtel Four Seasons de 200 chambres, des appartements de service, plusieurs étages de bureaux et un observatoire. Au total, 59 ascenseurs permettront aux visiteurs de se déplacer entre les étages.
Pour soutenir ces prouesses techniques, Dextra est fier de fournir des coupleurs Bartec pour les fondations et les superstructures de la tour de Djeddah. Deux principaux types de coupleurs Bartec sont utilisés : les assemblages standard et de pontage.
